The best way to split a string
to array
is to use the split()
method in JavaScript.
In this article, I will go over some JavaScript split()
methods with some examples.
Syntax of split()
method
split(separator, limit)
Here, separator is any ASCII character/letter and limit is a positive number that tells the browser to return specific substrings from an array.
JS split() method code with examples
In this first example, I will take the string "JS is fun"
. Here, I will use the split()
method without any separator or limit and return the value of the whole array. Let's see.
const str = "JS is fun"
str.split()
// ["JS is fun"]
Let's split into individual words and characters
In this second example, I will use the same string as the above example. Here, I will split the string into individual words.
const str = "JS is fun"
str.split(' ')
// ["JS", "is", "fun"]
Now let's split them into individual characters including spaces
const str = "JS is fun"
str.split('')
// ["J", "S", " ", "i", "s", " ", "f", "u", "n"]
Now let's introduce limit
parameter
This is a completely optional parameter
In this example, I have used the same string as above examples. Here, in this case I will be add limit
parameter to the split()
method
const str = "JS is fun"
str.split(' ', 1)
// ["JS"]
